Companies, governments, and individuals increasingly rely on data to make important decisions. Data can fuel innovation, but also prompts several questions: how should we tradeoff between the value of data and protecting individuals’ privacy; should individuals own and have the right to sell their data? Join us as our panel discusses the challenges in valuing data and the considerations when trading off between privacy and using data.

• L. Jean Camp, Professor of Informatics and Computing at Indiana University
